Abstract: aediatric patients with chronic health conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or asthma, are faced with unique challenges in managing their health.One key aspect of effective chronic disease management is building an effective partnership between the patients, their families and the clinical team as the child transitions to adolescence and then adulthood.1 Poor communication with health professionals is consistently identified by patients as one of the key barriers to effective selfmanagement of their health.2 E-health technologies, specifically patient-facing mobile applications (apps) can potentially provide a solution to improving patient-practitioner communication in paediatric settings.
